In a world full of continuous distractions being able to give your full attention to one thing at a time is powerful. According to stats from Workplace Trends and The Guardian on average, employees lose 2.1 hours per day to distractions. This can add up to 720 hours of lost productivity per year.
98% of employees are interrupted at least three or four times a day. The average employee experiences 56 interruptions per day. Companies lose out on substantial profits due to distractions. Businesses in the United States lose upwards of $650 billion annually due to distracted employees. Distractions can lead to employees committing twice as many errors as usual. It takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to fully recover focus after a distraction.
Nearly 6 in 10 (59%) can't focus for even 30 minutes without getting sidetracked. 92% of employers see lost focus as a major organizational problem. Not surprisingly the number one distraction in today’s world is your cell phone. Most people cannot go 30 minutes without touching it.
This has led to the increase in anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, depression, fear of missing out, social isolation and the list of negative emotions goes on.
Since it is unlikely that billions of people will be throwing away their cellphones anytime soon what if you could learn how to use it for your betterment as a human being and others?
